An Indian air force MiG fighter jet crashed Tuesday in the northern desert state of Rajasthan, killing its pilot. Police said the Russian-designed aircraft took off from a military base in the frontier district of Barmer and crashed in a field without giving its trainee pilot a chance to eject to safety.
Tuesday's crash comes three days after two of India's most experienced military pilots died when their plane crashed during aerobatics over the southern city of Bangalore.
